HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 1936 PAGE THREE William Windsor, "sage of Wind sor Castle," was a vistior in the city Saturday from the lone section. In his fifty years in the county he be lieves the present fall season to be the driest and coldest he has exper ienced. He recently sold his farm north of lone and is now located on a small place just below town. In spite of his having battled life for 81 years, he was proud of the fact that he was still able to "scratch out his own livelihood." Mr. Windsor obtained the title of sage of Windsor Castle several years ago when he made regular philosophical contributions under that cognomen to the lone newspaper. Harold Mason returned to town Tuesday from an elk hunt near Hidaway springs, bringing in large bull which he killed. He re ported that Dodd Miller of Spring field killed another elk near by.'

He took a party of Portland hunters out, but was not successful in g"tting sight of the game until after they had to leave. Arthur Johnson, in the city Mon day from the lone section, reported that he had not yet teeded his wheat. He said growing conditions so far this fall were not very pros pective, and he believed it might be better to wait till spring. If things open up right in January, he thought he might get it in the ground then. His January seeding did quite well this year compared with crops sown at other times. Charles W.

Editorial Our football team this year was one of which we should be proud. Although it was on to a compar atively slow start, it became better as the season went along and cli maxed with a victory over Hermis ton on Armistice Day. As well as for their victories, the players on the Heppner team should be com mended for their fine sportsman ship, which is just as important as winning. To the townspeople, much credit is also due for their fine support throughout the season, -Jipecially at the Hermiston game. The players were particularly aware of this, and they certainly appreciated this sup port. One thing, however, could have been averted, and that was the goal post episode at the end of the game. Even though they were overjoyed at the outcome, it seems as though the Heppner rooters could have restrained their barbaric Instincts enough to keep from de stroying property. The goal posts were put up there for a definite purpose and were permanent struc tures not to be demolished at the end of every game. The most tragic thing about the affair, however, is the danger of re sentment on the part of the Her miston players and rooters. This resentment may spring :ip and des troy the fine sportsmanship, of which we are proud, between the two teams. There will be a ten dency for them to do the same thing to us some day as a means of get ting even, and unless some im provement is made on the sports manship of the Heppner rooters, it is liable to be in the near future. Sportsmanship! It means a lot to the players; let's make it mean a lot to us. H.H.S. Armistice Program The Heppner grade and high schools observed Armistice Day last Tuesday afternoon with a program in the gymnasium. The program opened with group singing of "The Star Spangled Banner." Following this were several music l numbers by the different classes of the grade school. The most outst-inding of these were the songs by the eighth grade boys. After one song, the applause was so great that they were obliged to sing another. Dora Bailey gave the poem entitled '"In Flanders Fields." The guest speaker of the after noon was Mrs .Lucy E. Rodgers. Her topic was "Armistice." The program closed with the grmip singing "America." H.H.S. Basketball Season Under Way Basketball practice started Mon day night, under the supervision of Coach Tet. The team's practice will consist of learning fundament als and developing team play. The offensive play will be par ticularly emphasized, although the defensive will not be neglected.

About twenty aspirants are seeking positions on the team. Many new faces are to be seen this year. Veteran members of the squad are Gilman, Van Marter, Munkers, Turner and Cox. H.H.S.

Six Weeks Tests Have you noticed how studious everybody has become lately? Have you wondered what It is all about? The reason for all of this is that next week six weeks' exams will be given. Some students think that if they work real hard the last week of the six weeks to make up for the work they didn't do the first of the six weeks, they will receive just as good grades. Many of these stu dents will be badly disappointed when they get their cards and will wish they had begun to study at the first, instead of cramming at the last minute.

I Championship Plastered with blood and glory, Heppner high's Morrow county champions trotted victoriously off Hermiston's battle-torn gridiron Armistice day. Using their polished aerial attack to a wonderful ad vantage, together with a smooth running attack, the Irish scored early and held the lead throughout the game. Hermiston won the toss and chose to receive. Heppner, taljing the ball from the Bulldogs on a fumble, marched quickly down the field to their opponent's 6 yard line. Here the river team's line stiffened, NOTICE! to Property Owners Having Delinquent Taxes The current tax (1936) must be paid in full before December 16, 1936, and one quarter of the earliest year delinquent to cancel the in terest on 1933-34 and all prior years. The cur rent tax must be paid and one quarter of the earliest year delinquent before December 16 of each following year to cancel the interest for 1933-34 and all prior years until all delin quent taxes are paid in full. If the taxes are not so paid the interest will be added to the tax and collected according to the 1935 tax law. The personal property tax is payable the same way, provided that you do not miss a payment. If you do not pay the 1936 tax and one-fourth of the earliest year delinquent the Tax Collector will be forced to seize and sell enough property to satisfy all taxes and ac crued interest and costs. This law is manda tory and by paying according to its provisions you will be conferring a favor upon yourself, the County, and the Tax Collector's office by doing so. C. J. D. BAUMAN Sheriff and Tax Collector, Morrow County, Oregon and after four unsuccessful at tempts to score, Heppner lost the ball on downs to Hermiston, who quickly punted out of danger. The quarter ended with the ball in mid- field. After an exchange of punts, the Irishmen s passes started clicking, Gilman's pass to Van Marter was good for 10, and then reversing the order, Gilman snagged Van Mar ter'a pass out of the hands of two would-be lntercepters and galloped 15 yards to a touchdown. Van Mar ter, on a line plunge, made the ex tra point. Score :7-0. The half ended shortly after Heppner had again kicked off. " Recovering a fumble shortly af ter the opening of the second per iod, the rvier team, in six plays, pushed over their lone score. At this point the whole Heppner line rose up in defense of their one point lead and stopped the attempted conversion at the line of scrimmage. Score: 7:6. Hermistons final threat was squelched when Munkers speared a long Bulldog pass out of the air and ran 30 yards before being downed on Hermiston's 43 yard line. Still trying vainly to score, the Umatil lians made three consecutive first downs before the final gun. Seven local seniors finished their footbal careers for Heppner with this game: Fred Hoskins, letter- man transfer from lone a brilliant left end, always fighting with never a let-up. His best game of the year was at Arlington. Norton King, one year letterman at left end speediest man on the team, who capably filled his position as a kingman. Gerald Cason, right half with no previous football experience, start ed as a guard but ended the season in the backfleld. His fine tackling was a highlight of the Armistice day game. Riley Munkers, safety and quar terback smalest but most de pendable man on the team. His ability to return punts was a de ciding factor in Heppner's success ful season. Len Gilman, left half captain and signal-caller. Was an out standing player all season. His brilliant runs, accurate passes, and long punts made him the back bone of Heppner s attack. Andy Shoun, tackle a senior utility man who always turned in a good game. Bill McCaleb, tackle another graduating senior. A good lineman who paved the way for Heppner's numerous power plays. H.W..S. Football Banquet Last Friday the football boys, Coach and Mrs. Tetz, and Mr. and Mrs. Biankenship were entertained at a banquet given by the home ec onomics club. From the reports of those attending, the banquet was a huge success. Coach Tetz acted as toastmaster, and, from the general opinion, handled the dinner in quite an interesting manner. The talks were carried on in form of a foot ball game. Each boy had to make a speech, and if it was good enough, the ball was advanced five yards. When half of the boys had spoken, time was called for the half. Dur ing the "half," Mr. Biankenship gave his opinion of the past foot ball season and of the future bas ketball season. In the second half the remaining boys, by their spec tacular plays, or should we say speeches, advanced the ball over the goal line to a touchdown. The- banquet was concluded with the singing of the Heppner Loyalty song. After the banquet, a dance was held wtih everyone having a most enjoyable time. The majority of the student body, especially the football boys, hope this banquet may be an annual school custom. RHEA CREEK NEWS.
